## Resource

Alternate Current Radio and 21st Century Wire Present: Sunday Wire with Patrick Henningsen. This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen reviewing the biggest and most impactful stories of the week—both in the US and internationally. It’s now clear—based on reports of elite US ground troops being deployed to Middle East that Trump and Netanyahu are preparing for a ground invasion of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran—only with no clear objective or exit strategy. Will this massive doubling down move be a disaster for the US, the Gulf region and the world economy? It seems so. Later in the Overdrive segment, we’re joined by teammates Bryan “Hesher” McClain, Adam “Ruckus” Clark, and Basil Valentine, for deeper comment and analysis on this week’s earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more on this week’s edition of the SUNDAY WIRE. 21st Century Wire: Website: https://21stcenturywire.com/ Support: https://21w.co/support Alternate Current Radio: Website: https://alternatecurrentradio.com Support: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/ Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/ This month’s featured music artists: Red Rumble Peter Conway Joseph Arthur Phil Zimmerman Beady Man Poet Peyoti for President • • The Real Anthem
